Ingredients
  

  • 4 large fillets of tilapia catfish, or other flaky white fish (about 2-3 pounds total)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped, or 2 teaspoons dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper leave out for AIP
  • 1 small leek sliced thin and separated into pieces
  • 4 Meyer lemons sliced into thin circles
  • 1 tablespoon fresh fennel fronds chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425, and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Mix salt, pepper, garlic, and dill in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Using paper towels or a clean cloth, blot fish filets until dry. Season both sides with spice mixture.
  • Layer the leek pieces and lemons in 4-6 columns across the lined sheet pan, making a bed for each filet to sit on. Place filets over the lemon and leeks. Top each fillet with remaining leek and lemon slices, and sprinkle with fennel fronds.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until fish is no longer opaque and cooked through. If your filets are small and/or thin, begin checking them after 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately with extra lemon on the side. Be sure and remind your diners to squeeze the baked and/or fresh lemon over the filets.
